The Slim Whitman Appreciation Thread

He was a good boy

He loved his Momma and his Guitar.

And then the 60's happened

And then he took a puff of REEFER!

In memory of Slim. Please kick this one or I will email you all MP3's of Slim...

Okay, that was eleven words but Slim is not counting. ;)

7. There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere.

Jeez, his stuff was right up there with the mother and Bible songs that the Louvin Brothers did. do you remember Wink Martindale's Deck of Cards?

10. He didn't bore as many people to death as PowerPoint has.

Sorry, that's about the best I can come up with in praise of ol' Slim.

Same goes for Boxcar Willie.
